‘KPop Demon Hunters’ and McDonald’s are ready to takedown your hunger

No one believed in KPop Demon Hunters when the movie was first created. Sony sold it off to Netflix. Toy companies passed on the opportunity to sell HUNTR/X and Saja Boys merch. But then KPop Demon Hunters became an absolute phenomenon. And now Netflix and McDonald’s have teamed up to bring us a full KPop Demon Hunters menu, with the Saja Boys Breakfast Meal, the HUNTR/X Meal and the Derpy McFlurry all making their debut on Tuesday.

Take a tour through the ‘SNL’ Five-Timers Club

SNL is off this weekend, but next week’s show will be Jack Black’s fifth time hosting. You know what that means, right? A new member of the Five-Timers Club. Black will be the 28th member of the prestigious group, hosting in back-to-back seasons after a drought that ran from 2005 to 2025.
